I just played in a game vs an Illaoi (not this video, this video was one I found on youtube) as Pantheon, im up 3-1 in kills up 15cs freshly back from ganking a lane with my ult i shoped come into the lane with a good lead. Illaoi wants to fight me, I dodge her Q and counter with my spear toss and jump on her and take her to just under half hp instantly, then she just presses R W and I'm dead before I know it. Now keeping in mind that my situation that happen was I'm way ahead on items and I came from the shop. I even had ignite on her, I dodged her tentacle hit and she still gets rewarded with instantly winning the fight by pressing R and W. I don't understand how you guys can continue to be ok with this champions stats. I mean if that video above isn't enough proof. She is 1v5 there and gets cc'd hard. and lives killing all 5 of them. Even later to give another example, I got a randuins omen some defenses 3k hp on me 170 armor. Illaoi grabs my spirit, and her team all hit it, I lose 2k hp for getting hit with 1 skills shot, and being out of range for all of them to attack me. Can you please explain to me how this makes sense as a kit and with those stats? I really thought maybe this patch something would get done to fix this, and it didn't. It Just makes no sense, she did all of this damage having 1 damage item (black cleaver).

I mean, if you all group on her and she presses her ult...if you don't literally insta kill her she's going to kill you all. That's what you get for fighting in the now 5-7 tentacles that are there. I've seen one get all 5 tentacles before, you know what my team did? We ran away and engaged the rest of her team. You know what happened next? She tried to follow and we turned on her and she died near instantly cause she didn't have any healing from her tentacles. As for your game vs her while you were ahead I'd need to see the video. Personally, I dislike the champion too, but I do not think that she is overpowered as I've never seen one truly take over a game yet.

Yep, because you kept trying to kill her after she ulted. That's like going all in on Tryn during his ult and later wondering why he didn't die and how he got his penta.

the video is from youtube not from my game, the descriptions i gave were of events that occurred in a game of mine.

The clip makes perfect sense. 5 tentacles in a tight corner, everyone group, she got a few free Ws in, and she bursted down their main sources of damage.

Tristana and Lux on the front lines Group together against an AOE damage champion

I am totally OK about morons getting styled on

illoai is at her strongest when you gang up on her like that. its not 1v 5 its 5v 1 + a tentacle for each of you that deals aoe damage to all of you and heals her.

you played right in to her plan. i absolutely love baiting the whole enemy team to chase in to me and do almost exactly this, even when you suicide you end up taking their whole team down to half hp when they fall for it.

i usually try to pull a spirit too, as it adds and extra tentacle.

right now id say 90% of the she is OP claims are due to people not understanding how her kit works.

people dont understand the spirit pull at all and usually dont figure it out until your up 4 or 5 kills. they try to run or they just let you kill it. i dont think anyone has figured out she heals 5% of her max health each time one hits you either.

those two things are why people keep getting owned by her. every time that 3-4 tentacle mass was hitting you she was healing 15-20% of her max health.

its very similar to diving in to a heimer triangle of turrets cept these bastards heal and deal AOE

5% Missing health, 5% max wouldn't be fair now.

Nogrim1 votes

oh its missing? eh doesnt really make that big a difference, im usually running around with 3-4k hp on her anyway. ganging up on her while her ult is up is still just as suicidal

MasterSomething1 votes

While that is true, the difference between max health and missing health is actually quite huge. Missing health is ridiculously weak at higher HP, and really annoying to deal with at low HP. Max health is really good at all points in the game, but is usually a low amount and there are very few Max HP heals in the game, if there are any.

Nogrim1 votes

well you arent wrong but this also makes it easier for her to abuse it. having the healing only be obvious when people are trying to finish you off makes her ult even more of a trap.

if it was max health people would see the healing at all stages instead of being shocked when it kicks in at low hp when she drops a 5 tentacle ult and heals for 1/4 of her hp.

she needs some serious tweaks to her read-ability right now i feel like i am winning games just due to people not having a clue how to fight her.

People never know how to beat a champion when they don't know how to fight her. Give it a month or two, and people will realize how to beat her. Just like Fiora.

Nogrim1 votes

yeah as strong as she is currently they need to wait until people have figured out the whole vessel mechanic before any actual nerfs.

the visuals arent very good at doing that currently so i hope that is how they make the first adjustments to her
